DOES NOT FOLD - Deceptive Product Title and Description,
By Directed Energy (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ninja Folding Grappling Hook w/ Black Finish & Rope, Functional (Misc.)
If possible, I would RATE THIS ITEM 2.5 STARS
1) This grappling hook does not fold. The title is deceptive and needs to be changed regardless of what the manufacture in China has decided to call the product. Folding means to bend, period. Hence, this grappling hook does not have tines that lay flat. Instead the grappling hook comes apart (see photo) for storage as shown on the back of the box (see photo) but never shared by the seller. 2) The twin hook forms on the shaft, once loose from a throw and hard landing, spin around on the main shaft, and do not securely lock into place when finger tighten. This leaves the hook in a non rigid form as the tines once loose from a throw, will also wiggle about some on the main shaft. 3) The tine hooks are not well formed such that the grappling hook when laid down, rest in a less safe position (see photo). For use and safety, grappling hooks in their resting position should have their pointed tines facing down or towards the ground. This grappling hook has been designed and made such that in it's natural resting position has the pointed tines dangerously facing up, and potentially hazardous to people when stowed. The solution would be to reposition the "center of gravity" for the grappling hook by making the center shaft longer. 4) As of June 2010, very low quality nylon rope is being supplied with the grappling hook. Note all of the miss weaves in the line (see photo). Presuming that the seller is conscientious and aware of what they are promoting, had to have known that the title on the box is an incorrect description of the product and needs to be reworded to reflect the true design and function of this grappling hook. Since the seller, Martial Arts Land, via Amazon is not correcting the ad even thought the ad has been posted and displayed for as long as it has been, must be either indifferent or simply too lazy and disrespectful of their customers to permit such failure and inaction to continue. For those reviewers that claim that this grappling hook folds must not own or have used the product. Minus 1.0 for the grappling hook does not function as describe in the advertisement. Minus 0.5 for the pointed tines on the grappling hook rest in an unsafe position. Minus 0.25 for the hooks, after a hard landing, do not stay place, wiggle and spin. Minus 0.25 for supplying with the grappling hook a low quality miss weaved rope. Minus 0.25 for the seller not clearly stating that the product is miss labeled on the box. Minus 0.25 for not sharing an image of the product box showing the hook disassembled not folded.

economy choice for today's ninja,
By Ellis Bell "Ellis Bell" (Haworth, West Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ninja Folding Grappling Hook w/ Black Finish & Rope, Functional (Misc.)
As an entry-level ninja in today's weakened economy, I must watch my budget on equipment and supplies. I haven't yet qualified for health benefits, and the union for ninjas isn't the most effective, so I have little to back me up in case of a catastrophic injury. Although most assume I have the REAL ultimate power from the outset, being an entry-level ninja is a long climb to the top. So, for the ninja on the go, this is the ideal item for the price-conscious ninja needing an effective grappling hook at a price-point that won't offend your sensei or your sensibility. Just last week, I was infiltrating the offices of a large, multi-national bank on a small assassination mission, and - wouldn't you know it? -my old hook just snapped in two as I hoisted myself up to the 17th floor. I nearly fell a rather devastating distance to the ground. I am so glad I had this hook at the ready as a backup! I was able to hoist myself back to safety after a quick throw (most of my free time is, in fact, spend flying with the aid of this hook). I will, of course, buy another, now that my backup hook is now my primary hook, although I think that next time I scale an office building, I'll take the elevator instead. Or I'll just totally flip out, and that would be sweet.

Be Careful!,
This review is from: Ninja Folding Grappling Hook w/ Black Finish & Rope, Functional (Misc.)
The manufacturer failed to mention that when you purchase this, you are automatically enrolled in the Hatano/Tokugawa clan war. I don't have time to deal with an honor dispute dating from feudal Japan, I have a job and things to do. I can't very well up and leave work because someone is trying to assassinate me. In all fainess though, I did not find myself at a disadvantage when I came apon dilemmas which could be overcome by a skillful application of rope climbing. Unfortunately this model doesn't hold up well to being submerged. I tried some deep-sea ascention, and now it just doesn't seem to work right anymore.
